No difference in term of amenities or service. The neutralized middle seat is only on 737, not 787 from what they told me. TBH, not sure if worth the price unless you get the status discounts (up to free for Platinum).
You are 100% right, thanks a lot for confirming [MENTION=896341]offvoice[/MENTION] .
Except for KL EC which looks more generous at the first row - not center !
Are you sure the free middle seat was not because plane's light load?
Also no difference in term of pre service but maybe it will (has) change(d) soon - TIA.
I don't blame the venerable oversized Mama that sat next between us - which always needed help for seatbelt, dinner... and clearly invaded our privacy - but KQ for advertising and promoting such seats with many advantages!

An advice for others, stick to not full row 3 or 4 or as usual at the back of the cabin where you can eventually lounge for the night!
